Netanyahu's Advocates Assess: Low Chance for Plea Bargaining Israel today

2022-01-19T19:18:59.952Z


The defense team of the opposition chairman was under the impression that Spokesman Mandelblit has hardened his positions in recent days • However, the prosecution team is already preparing to amend the indictment, in case an agreement is signed


Today, from afternoon to evening, Netanyahu is scheduled with his defense team.

Netanyahu discussed the issue of the plea deal for hours.

In recent days, after the Attorney General met with the team of senior attorneys accompanying the case he has hardened his stances.

Not only does it require recognition of disgrace as part of the plea deal now the service work threshold has risen from less than 3 months to 9-6 months.

The other elements of the deal remained as they were - a confession of two offenses of fraud and breach of trust in the 4000 case and the 1000 case, the closing of the 2000 case and the removal of the bribery clause and the demand for imprisonment in action,

.

At the end of the meeting, the defense team believes that the chances of a plea agreement in Mandelblit's time are "very small".

These pessimistic assessments correspond with the assessments heard in the State Attorney's Office, where they even stated that in fact the slim chance that had existed in recent days had already faded and such a deal, if it happened, would not take place during Mandelblit's time.

Despite this, the prosecution team is already preparing to amend the indictment, if this is helped, and Netanyahu's defense team is working to convince him that there will be no better deal, and anyone who comes to Mandelblit's chair after him is expected to make it even more difficult.

Were we wrong?
